Extreme Rescue Misson at a 150 Year Old Abandoned Gold Mine!

Рет қаралды 159,504

24 күн бұрын

Rick Sr found this 150 year old abandoned gold mine on a remote Arizona ranch 40 years ago, and has always had the dream of saving the old ore cart. Now all these years later his son owns ‪@MURPHYSDIESEL‬ and has built Hellboy, one of the most capable off road wreckers in existence, and they decided that it was time to make the recovery attempt. The original plan was to sky line it out of there yarder style, which is something that I've done quite a few times, so Rick invited me down to join along on the recovery. I jumped on th offer and flew down to Northern Arizona to join in. Once we got down to the mine we realized that it was farther down than we thought and we didn't have enough line to use the yarder technique, we built a sled out of some of the timbers on site and used the winches on Hellboy to skid it up out of the canyon.
Now the the ore cart has been saved, it's going to be put on display at the ranch headquarters to help preserve the history of one of the nations biggest cattle ranches.

ya people kindof think arizona is mostly a flat desert but that's far from it. we have 3 different climate zones and alot of towns above 5,000ft elevation & where I live is just over 8,000ft elevation in lakeside/pinetop area in the white mountains of Arizona and Murphys towing services pretty much the northern half of the state here from the Nevada side to the otherside that borders with New Mexico and every big and small town in between running across the old route 66/ i-40 they have several yards spread out across the state making them fast and reliable when you need them plus they don't play games a perfect example of what a family owned and ran business should be

Casey, you are on The Babbitt Ranch. I am now 79 years old, and I had an uncle who was Foreman on the ranch and a cousin who was killed along with his horse on the ranch when they were washed down stream in a monsoon flooded creek. And, just a few months ago, I had another cousin just retire from being the foreman on the ranch.

@Jagabot_Esq. 22 күн бұрын

750,000 acres (* 0.0015625) is 1,171.88 sq. miles (their 500k deeded acres is 781.25 sq. miles). Unreal that such a ranch still exists today.

@SansNeural 22 күн бұрын

My personal opinion... running cows in the desert or near desert is spittin' in mother nature's eye. There's reasons it takes 1200 sq miles to run a big herd... it's really inefficient. I'd say it's a waste of resources, but honestly the land's not good for much else, and that's the reason it works.

@blacksquirrel4008 22 күн бұрын

150 acres per cow and they still need supplements. Here in Florida we can feed them for about 3 acres each. We could run that same herd on less than 12,000 acres

Super large ranch for the US! I lived in the Queensland Outback in the 1960s. Our friend's station (ranch) was about 25 miles out of town and was 4500 square miles. Took a minimum of 7 acres to support 1 sheep and 49 acres per cow, so the stations had to be large.

It's really incredible when you think of what humans have been capable of moving and building for centuries without modern machines. I just watched this video about a man who has spent the last 40 years building a castle in Colorado by himself, with only his hands and an old pickup truck to haul the rocks he collected. The man dropped out of school in 8th grade but has managed to build this enormous castle by hand that includes iron stairs, iron bridges/walkways and a huge dragons head he created by using thousands of flattened steel buffet trays as scales. It's called Bishop's castle, and really that's the type of person they should be teaching kids about in schools. Show them what one man can accomplish with hard work and determination...a strong back helps too!😄

Outstanding content! I watched this on Rick's channel but had no idea the the steepness or degree of difficulty involved in the operation. True testament to the tenacity of all involved including the flora and fauna to be able to grow and function and and be able to withstand the abuse given to the environment in which it grew and then assisted in the actual recovery by being able to be drug up and over the rocky landscape. Loved how you spliced in the where the actual recovery took place and showed the recovery from afar!

For the record, that tangled mess is why we don't follow valley bottoms for access. Walk the slope or ridge. The fun part of cactus is the thorns are inner sheathed. You pull out and it leaves the outer sheath in you to fester. Good light and tweezers will help. It can take weeks to get the last of it. There are cactus in NY desert. There are cactus in OR.
